It has been like pulling teeth trying to complete this game for the past 5(?) years. I was a day one purchaser, big fan of Gearbox’s only good franchise, and on paper Borderlands 3 should be great - but Ive been just so impossibly bored. Ive spent a long time wondering why… and I think I figured it out: for a game thats called “Borderlands 3”, it sure doesnt feel like its really about The Borderlands anymore, does it?

Maybe its strayed too far from home. It seems the bigger Gearbox makes the bottle, the more they let the lightning out. As much as I hate Pandoras sometimes monotonous beige desert feel, I think Borderlands used to represent a specific kind of space-western vibe. The harsh trappings of the desperado wasteland, mixed with the exotic qualities of alien wildlife, made into a comically deranged satire of a Mad Maxian society. Without that, what is it a satire of? What satire is happening when you plug the Ice-T teddy bear into the navigation of your colony ship?

The game calls you Vault Hunter alot but did it ever feel like you were hunting or searching for anything? What were you, then?

You know? The first time I watched the trailer for this game, I thought it looked really good! However, it only took me watching the trailer more than once to notice this game looked mid as all hell.

Turns out I was right after all, and everything about this game is not only worse than Mania...But reminds me HEAVILY to Sonic 1 and Sonic CD. You know, the two worst fucking classic Sonic games of all time.

- Presentation is bland
- Music is shit
- Bonus minigames suck
- Bosses are bland and some of them take way too long!
- Chaos emerald abilities are pretty useless and pointless
- The co-op aspect feels like an afterthought
- A LOT of these levels are SUPER slow, frustrating and tedious, and feel like the worst levels in Sonic 1 (So most of them)
- The "final boss" against Fang is so unbearably obnoxious and unfair that I didn't even bother finishing this fucking game.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the level designers from Sonic 1 and CD came back as leading designer for this one, and people were talking about that like that was a good thing? That explains why this game sucks so incredibly hard honestly, but I don't know why ANYONE would think that was a good idea in the first place. Nothing against the guy...But please...Don't come back to make another one of these...I'm begging you.

This game sucks and pisses me off. It's embarrassing that this is what we got right after Mania...But it's even more embarrassing to have released this crap on the same month as Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Yeah, it's scary and funne! I've played it with friends multiple times and it is a blast! Especially with mods and rooms of like 8 people.

I don't play it as much anymore, since the hype kinda died down and it does get pretty boring to do the same thing over and over again. I'm don't usually play horror games cuz I hate them but It's still fun with friends every once in a while!

Simple, but a great time.

I tried to give this game a shot since a lot of people were really excited for the third game...But I don't think this is the type of game for me.

I just didn't click with the gameplay, I didn't find it all that funny or interesting, I didn't really care for how it looks....I don't know what to tell you.

I wanted to like it, but I guess it's just not for me.
